Being a musician in Iran is about a thousand times harder.Cannes Film Festival award-winning drama "No One Knows About Persian Cats" by Kurdish director Bahman Ghobadi gives a glimpse into the sprawling Iranian underground music scene that is as shocking as it is revealing, including heaps of beautiful pictures and a soundtrack that will rock your behind.
The film is currently on in (alternative) cinemas around Europe. In times of blood-splattered crackdowns and uprisings, the timing couldn't have been better.
